Full text Abstract/Details Abstract Translate The Victorian landscape movement was popular and in 1886 Olmstead recommended that the Wilmington water commissioners acquire the rolling creek-side terrain as a park to protect the city's water supply. Full Text Translate The landmark decision by the Mount Cuba Foundation and Conservation Fund to acquire the 1,100-acre Woodlawn Trustees property for a National Park was a watershed for the historic Brandywine Valley. Coursing through one of the most beautiful landscapes in America, no other river of its size can rival the Brandywine for its unique contributions to history and industry. The Brandywine rises in the 1,000-feet high Welsh Mountains of Pennsylvania and flows for 30 miles through the scenic Piedmont Plateau before tumbling down to Wilmington. The river provides drinking water to a quarter of a million people in two states, four counties, and 30 municipalities. Attracted to the pastoral countryside and nearby jobs in Wilmington and Philadelphia, 25,000 people have moved here since the turn of the century. Its watershed is bisected by an arc traced in 1682 by William Penn that is the only circular state boundary in the U.S. Though 90 percent of the catchment is in Pennsylvania, the river is the sole source of drinking water for Wilmington, Delaware's largest city. Delaware separated from Pennsylvania in 1776, but the two states remain joined by a common river. It may be named after the Dutch word for brandy or a colonial mill owner. The Lenape knew it as Wauwaset. In 1638, the Swedes landed at Fort Christina at the mouth of the Fiskiekylen (Fishkill). Thomas Holme, Penn's first Surveyor General, drew a 1687 map with the Brandy Wine that flows into Christian Creek. The Lenape claimed William Penn granted them the land within one mile of the creek and protested that mill dams were blocking shad runs. On Sept. 11, 1777, Gen. William Howe defeated George Washington along the Brandywine at the largest American Revolution battle. It was fought at Chadd's Ford because the Brandywine "canyon" above Wilmington was impassable to troops. With a head higher than Niagara Falls, the Brandywine falls 160 feet from Chadds Ford to sea level at Wilmington. Its mills were close to tidewater allowing Wilmington millers to ship "Brandywine Superfine" flour to ocean ports in the Caribbean. In the 1780s, Oliver Evans invented an automatic flour mill that revolutionized the industrial processing of grains. In 1787, Thomas Gilpin built Wilmington's first papermill, eventually became Bancroft Mills, one of the largest textile mills in the world. During the 19th century, the Conestoga wagon (prairie schooner) hauled grain from Lancaster to the Brandywine flour mills. In 1795, Jacob Broom built the first cotton mill along the creek. When it burnt down, he sold 95 acres in 1802 to Eleuthere Irenee du Pont for $6,740. The DuPonts searched the Atlantic seaboard and settled on the Brandywine falls to power their gunpowder mills. The Hagley mills grew into the Fortune 500 DuPont Company corporation. Frederick Law Olmstead, who designed Central Park before the Civil War and helped design Brandywine Park, added to the National Historic Register in 1976. The Victorian landscape movement was popular and in 1886 Olmstead recommended that the Wilmington water commissioners acquire the rolling creek-side terrain as a park to protect the city's water supply. In 1919, Lammot DuPont, President of DuPont Co. purchased land to construct Buck/Doe Run reservoir to protect the Brandywine as Wilmington's primary water source. On Oct. 25, 1929, just days before the Black Monday stock market crash, Wilmington let contracts to build a two billion gallon reservoir along Old Mill Creek. The city named the reservoir after Col. E.M. Hoopes, city water commissioner who died in 1931. In 1947 Ruth Patrick founded the Limnology Dept. at the Academy of Natural Sciences to study the Brandywine Creek and in 1975 was the first woman on the DuPont Board of Directors. Artists in the Brandywine school include Howard Pyle and N.C. Wyeth. In 1901,William Bancroft establishedWoodlawn Trustees to protect the Brandywine Valley for future generations. In 1946, landowners formed the Brandywine Valley Association as the nation's first small watershed organization. In 2010, Natural Lands Trust acquired the 1,263-acre ChesLen Preserve as a Pennsylvania Wild Plant Sanctuary. In 2012 the Nature Conservancy, the world's largest environmental organization, started the urban Brandywine-Wilmington project. Nonprofits now protect 25,800 acres as "Important Bird Areas" with the National Audubon Society. The Brandywine Creek contributes drinking water, fishing/boating, and forest benefits of $400 million a year with a net value of $12.8 billion. Since 1961, the National Park Service has listed two dozen sites in the Brandywine Valley on the National Register of Historic Places. The Conservation Fund has rightly called the historic Brandywine one of "America's founding rivers. Congratulations to the Mt. Cuba Foundation for preserving the Woodlawn Trustees site as a "transformative opportunity." Jerry Kauffman is director of the University of Delaware Water Resources Agency.

True enough, but you may not have given the subject all that much thought. The intent of this book is to give you pause—how did your public water system come about; how has it grown and changed over the years; and how does it continue to deliver this most vital commodity to every home, school, and business in the city? We begin with a timeline that highlights some of the more important events in the history of the system, then move on to an illustrated historical sketch that provides background and context for these events.

  • The Signers of the U.S. Constitution
    CONSTITUTIONFACTS.COM The U.S Constitution & Amendments: About the Signers (Continued) The Signers of the U.S. Constitution On September 17, 1787, the Constitutional Convention came to a close in the Assembly Room of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There were seventy individuals chosen to attend the meetings with the initial purpose of amending the Articles of Confederation. Rhode Island opted to not send any delegates. Fifty-five men attended most of the meetings, there were never more than forty-six present at any one time, and ultimately only thirty-nine delegates actually signed the Constitution. (William Jackson, who was the secretary of the convention, but not a delegate, also signed the Constitution. John Delaware was absent but had another delegate sign for him.) While offering incredible contributions, George Mason of Virginia, Edmund Randolph of Virginia, and Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts refused to sign the final document because of basic philosophical differences. Mainly, they were fearful of an all-powerful government and wanted a bill of rights added to protect the rights of the people. The following is a list of those individuals who signed the Constitution along with a brief bit of information concerning what happened to each person after 1787. Many of those who signed the Constitution went on to serve more years in public service under the new form of government. The states are listed in alphabetical order followed by each state’s signers. Connecticut William S. Johnson (1727-1819)—He became the president of Columbia College (formerly known as King’s College), and was then appointed as a United States Senator in 1789.

Find the actual outcome of these questions by looking in the Constitution. On a separate sheet of paper, for each of the following, indicate 1. What the class Constitutional Convention decided; and 2. What the actual U.S. Constitutional Convention decided. The parentheses after each question indicate at least one section of the Constitution that will help you find an answer. 1a Should slavery be legal in any of the United States? (Article I, Section 9, Clause 1) 1b. Should the slave trade continue to be allowed? (Article I, Section 9, Clause 1) 1c. Should northerners be forced to turn over runaway (fugitive) slaves to their owners? (Article IV, Section 2, Clause 3) 2. Will it be legal for state legislatures to pass laws allowing debts to be paid “in kind”? (Article I, Sec- tion 10, Clause 1) 3. Should bonds issued during the Revolutionary War be paid back? (Article VI, Clause 1) 4. Who should be allowed to vote in general elections? (The Constitution says nothing about who shall vote, therefore who could vote was left up to individual states. At the time, no states allowed women or enslaved people to vote; many states had laws requiring individuals to own a certain amount of property before they could vote. Most states did not allow free blacks to vote.) 5. Conclusion: In your opinion, which social group or groups won the real Constitutional Convention? Explain your answer.

  • Lesson Eleven: the Processes of Amending Or Adopting a Constitution
    Lesson Eleven: The Processes of Amending or Adopting a Constitution BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR INSTRUCTOR For four months during the spring and summer of 1787 delegates from twelve of the thirteen states met in Philadelphia to amend the Articles of Confederation. Almost immediately the delegates decided not merely to amend the Articles, but to replace them with an entirely new Constitution. One of the most important issues considered by the Convention was how their draft constitution would be ratified. The Convention had several precedents to consider. Two months before the Second Continental Congress declared independence it recommended that new state constitutions be written amenable to the people. Eleven of the thirteen states replaced their colonial charters with new constitutions, while Connecticut and Rhode Island retained their charters, they deleted all references to the king and Parliament. The people would now be sovereign in all of the states. The new state constitutions were drafted by provincial legislative bodies who by fiat declared them to be in effect once the first state elections had taken place. However, in Massachusetts, the last state to act, the new state constitution was written by a specially-elected constitutional convention and was then submitted to the people in town meetings for their approval. Once the positive reports came in from the towns, the new constitution of 1780 was declared ratified. A second state constitution for New Hampshire followed a similar path being drafted by a convention, confirmed by the people in town meetings, and then put into effect in 1784. The Articles of Confederation offered two precedents for a process of ratification.

  • JACOB BROOM a Biographical Sketch by Nuala M. Drescher
    JACOB BROOM A Biographical Sketch by Nuala M. Drescher Hagley Museum July 1959 JACOB BROOM Jacob Broom had a varied and successful life and career, centered about the ever-growing borough of Wilmington, Delaware. He began his business career as a surveyor of land and conveyor of title; took an active role in the political life of his city and colony; supported the Revolution; and continued his interest in local, state and national politics following tne suspension of hostilities. Born and educated in Wilmington, Broom rapidly rose to prominence in the business world and died in Philadelphia in 1810 after a brief illness, while in that city on a business trip relative to his merchant interests. Jacob Broom was tne son of Janes Broom and Esther Willis Broom. His father was a native Delawarean, a blacksmitu who had turned farmer. His will reveals that wnile ne was considered to be a "yeoman", ne was actually a man of considerable property.^" Broom's mother, Esther Willis, was the daughter of John and Mary Willis of Thornbury, Chester County, Pennsylvania. Mr. Willis was a member of the Society of Friends, and as his daugnter held similar religious views, it is not surprising that no record can be found of the baptism of her eldest child, Jacob, bom in Wilmington in 1752.2 Following the tradition of the area, Broom was educated at home until about his thirteenth year when he "enjoyed the advantage of substantive 3 schooling, both secular and religious" at the Old Academy on Market Street. He was trained as a surveyor and conveyor of title; and in 1772 he was advertising in the Pennsylvania Gazette that he had been regularly instructed in the practice of surveying and conveying and had set up an office on"the 4 corner of Market Street and Third Street, in the Borough of Wilmington." At -2- the same time, he advertised that he acted as an investor in real estate, an indication of the already blossoming diversification of his business interests and abilities.

  • The Continental Army At
    The Continental Army at “Headquarters Towamensing” October 8-16, 1777 From the chapter “A Respite from A Revolution” in the book “Paper Quill and Ink, The Diaries of George Lukens 1768-1849 Towamencin Township Quaker - Farmer - Schoolmaster - Abolitionist, And A History of Towamencin Township” by Brian Hagey published 2016 by the Mennonite Historians of Eastern Pennsylvania. Copyright © 2016 Brian Hagey. Edition Two or years a sign hung on the wall beside the front desk of a hotel along the Sumneytown Pike in Kulpsville that read "At this spot on July 4, 1776 not a damn thing happened." F The satirical phrase with roots in the Bicentennial Celebration is a humorous and crude reminder that nothing noteworthy happened on that quiet summer day in pastoral Towamencin Township, as compared to a world-changing event that took place the same day 23 miles to the south in colonial Philadelphia. After much debate among the delegates and several rewrites by Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, the Second Continental Congress approved a recent congressional vote to declare independence from King George III of Great Britain. On July 4, 1776, the birth of our new nation was announced and Towamencin’s future, as well as the rest of the world, was soon to be very much affected. A mile marker along the Sumneytown Pike in Kulpsville states 23 miles to Philadelphia. During the last quarter of the eighteenth century, Philadelphia was the largest city in the British colonies; an important marketplace for Towamencin farmers as well as the birthplace of our nation. The war that began in Lexington, Massachusetts on April 19, 1775, over a year before independence was declared, eventually made its way to Towamencin.
